24th Century New Earth is a world ravaged by war, climate change, and factions. Within these are the haves and the have-nots. One of the latter, Kat Wallace, escapes slavers to find herself in the island kingdom of Bosch, where piracy is the game and the illicit ”glitter” drives the economy.
Motivated by revenge, Kat seeks to join the Pirate Force, but her plans may well be derailed by human need and a test of loyalty in a land where both are discretionary.
”A Merry Life” is the first of a (so far) four-volume collection by Sarah Branson. Her first taste of a futuristic, swashbuckling world came at age seven, when she and her family hopped a freighter to Australia. Sarah has taught science and history to students in the US, Brazil, and Japan. Her various careers also include being a licensed midwife.
In addition to Kat Wallace's escapades, Sarah has written of those of her protagonist's children. ”Unfurling the Sails: A Grey Shima Adventure” and ”A Pirates' Pact: A Kik and Mac Adventure” are among those for middle-grade and young adult readers.
Sarah Branson currently lives in Connecticut; you can find out more about Sarah and her writings on her website.
